Saw someone showing too much cleavage on Facebook and it literally set my teeth on edge. Also, I didn’t know I had a nest of vicious velociraptors (Vicious Velociraptors! Bitches love alt-punk!) in my stomach, but I guess I do.

The nice thing about being Catholic and an artist is that you have a properly ordered understanding of what it means to be “proud of your work.”

“There is no key to happiness.The door is always open.”
– Mother Teresa (via worldasweknowit)
